The STP 300 at Chicagoland Speedway is the 18th race on the 2013
Nationwide Series schedule.

Chicagoland Speedway, a 1.5-mile racetrack, has 18 degrees of banking in all
of its turns as well as 11 degrees of banking on the tri-oval and 5 degrees on
the backstretch. The length of the frontstretch is 2,400 feet, and the
backstretch measures 1,700 feet.

Construction of this racetrack, which is located roughly 40 miles southwest of
downtown Chicago, began in August 1999. The first Nationwide race there, the
Sam's Club 300, was held on July 14, 2001 and won by Jimmie Johnson.

There have been 14 Nationwide races held at Chicagoland, including one event
per season from 2001-10 and then two each year since then.

Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick are the only drivers with multiple Nationwide
victories at Chicagoland. Both drivers have won there twice. Busch and Harvick
are not entered in this weekend's race.

Richard Childress has the most car owner wins in Nationwide races at
Chicagoland with four, followed by Joe Gibbs with three.

No driver has won a Nationwide race from the pole position at Chicagoland. The
furthest back a driver has started and won an event in the series there is
34th, accomplished by Justin Labonte, who is the son of two-time NASCAR Cup
Series champion Terry Labonte.

The closest margin of victory in a Nationwide race at Chicagoland occurred one
year ago when Elliott Sadler beat Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to the finish line by
0.331 seconds.

Two drivers on the entry list for this race made their Nationwide debuts last
September at Chicagoland: Alex Bowman and Juan Carlos Blum.

Brian Scott scored his maiden pole in the series at Chicagoland on Sept. 17,
2011.

Three drivers posted their first career Nationwide victories at Chicagoland:
Johnson (2001), Johnny Sauter (2002) and Casey Mears (2006). None of those
drivers are entered in this race.

The next race is the July 27 Indiana 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brad
Keselowski won last year's inaugural event there.
